    I heard/read that SilverLight has no future and .NET as a whole is loosing its importance in Windows8. What will happen to the .NET development communities? what is the next skill to learn?

    That's false. Or, at least, not completely true. :)

        Just remove Silverlight to get crisp values. :)

            It is easy to say than to do. Unique sometimes could mean "not marketable".

                    Burger flipping and asking wether or not someone wants fries.

                    And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
                    "Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

                    And I smiled and was happy
                    And it came worse.

                            It depends of what skill set you already have. If you’re asking for technologies/languages that are not going to die any time soon and are widely used, here are a couple: C++/COM, Transact/PL SQL

                                No. The speed of the signals in the nerves probably was too slow for those large animals. Even coordinating the information that it is about to walk someplace with the rear legs required some extraordinary adaptations. When mortally wounded, a dinosaur probably went on without noticing until it could not go on anymore and dropped dead.

                                      Some dinosaurs were very large and assuming that their nerves were as as efficient as the nerve cells of most other animals and that they also shared the same anatomical patterns with other still existing animals, raises many questions how animals of such size were actually able to function. The length of the nerves and the time which the signals would need to reach their destinations are already problematic. How could they coordinate a single footstep with the brain sitting at the end of an endless neck and the rear legs still further away? How did they process the feedback from their legs with such significant delays? Here[^] you have just one randomly picked item I found.
